Wolves in on D'Angelo Russell?

[T_J]

I'm so angry at myself for rooting for Durant to go to the east instead of stay with Golden State.

Glass half full, Durant stays in GS, then Kawhi stays in Toronto, so Russ goes to the Lakers....fucked anyway.

[flexbuffchest]

This is FA. We still have trades to do on the 6th. Maybe that's what's up Rosas' sleeve?

Wiggins for Love. Make it so!

[morneaumvp]

Imagine how KAT is feeling.. This isn't going to go over well with him..

But I think we might have our new Gasol thread!!

Hahaha, was thinking the same thing.

Fuck KAT's feelings though. It's his buddy who chose not to join him for the next 5 years.

This may not be true, its possible DLo chose us and we just weren't able to find anyone to take on Wiggs contract in time.

The Golden State Warriors will acquire D'Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade with the Brooklyn Nets, but he may not be a long-term part of their franchise.

"D'Angelo Russell does not fit there whatsoever," said Marc Stein of the New York Times on the Dan Patrick Show. "They just did not want to see Kevin Durant walk out the door with no compensation. ... They will trade him. It's just a matter of when."

Russell will receive a four-year, $117 million contract from the Warriors.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers also expressed interest in Russell.

Not too late to make it a 3-team deal?


Nothing is official yet, right?

Yeah, this is probably the most likely scenario. I don't think there were any solid rumors of interest in Wiggins. That contract has to be Glen's biggest mistake as owner... don't ya think?

I think I saw July 6th or then you wait until December 15th. Let's make it happen now!

Golden State will want Roco + filler?

Right up there with signing Joe Smith to a contract under the table

My this is all part of Rosas’s Plan.

Wasn’t there a Twolves Tweet saying that can’t say anything until July 6.

“We Got Him”!!!

[T_J]

Alright peeps, let's work out some trades.

Golden State will want Roco + filler?

Yup to replace Iggy. Also, did Iggy get shipped for talking about GS's medical staff or did he know he was getting traded so then he started talking last week?

What's too much to give from the Wolves perspective?

Why would we give RoCo for DLo? We'd need something else imo.

[Corre Ricky Corre]

Can’t they not trade him until december?

[Mr. Brightside]

Yeah this is getting weird. It hasn’t even been officially announced yet as a done deal and reports are already coming out that GS will trade DLo? Wondering if this saga isn’t done yet...

That's what they would want I'm saying. Who knows what will happen, I just don't see Golden State keeping Russell longterm. It was all about getting something for Durant. Don't know why Russell doesn't know that but...

Idk, just thinking about this for shits.

My thought would be they lost Durant and Iggy and have Klay out for most of the year. They still have Curry & Draymond, but could use some wing play. Wiggins for salary matching/whatever...Cov to fill a need.

Is Wiggins playing like 4th fiddle there really much different than the alternate universe where they never get KD, but resign Barnes to a huge deal?

Curry
Klay
Wiggins
Cov
Dray

Nothing official til later in the week anyways.

[Oriole81]

As I started saying back on Fri, I don't want to give up a ton in assets to trade for Russell, certainly not when he comes with a 4 yr $117M contract. That's way more than I thought he'd end up getting.

They aren't taking Wiggins. Roco+assets more likely.

I’ve only ever been tentatively on this Dlo bandwagon, and I think if it costs Covington to get it done, I’m off.

Sometimes a too-notch role player is more valuable than a marginal star. Russell would have to take another step forward to make this a worthwhile move.

[irishman89]

How about Butler ends up in Golden State?

I think I agree. When it was only Teague + filler, it was one thing, but now we're talking serious stuff and I think we need to show caution.

They aren't taking Wiggins. Roco+assets more likely.

Eh, then I'd be out on it altogether.

You guys gotta admit though and I'm probably insane at this point, but my Wiggins logic makes sense for them. If anyone could turn him into a decent player or at least make him look decent, it's that team and the surrounding pieces. He'd have tons of room to operate with that much shooting around him.

[flexbuffchest]

Alright peeps, let's work out some trades.

Golden State will want Roco + filler?

That'd be my guess...but that's assuming they signed him only with the intention of trading him. Could just be a 1 year rental while Klay is out . RoCo would be their Iggy replacement.

[The Replacements]

I already gave up, at least temporarily. I keep waiting for the aha moment where this makes sense. Maybe tank for RJ Hampton, Theo Maledon or Cole Anthony.

[HeHateMe]

What a slap in the face.

[T_J]

Motherfucker burned us.

[DonaldDouchebag]

What a slap in the face.

What? The Wolves paid for him to take a helicopter ride in LA? How can that be true?
